Ms. Jeanette:

I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Lamar's passing. I haven't seen either of you in many years, but I remember with so much fondness your work for CART at the Rotary district conferences, always with young Michael in tow! I guess Michael isn't so young anymore, huh?

Please know that my heart hurts for you and my thoughts and prayers are with you, Michael and the rest of your family as you grieve Mr. Lamar's passing.

Love and Blessings ...
